学者和权威人士都认为,美国科学家可以做更多的工作来接触公众。然而,到目前为止,很少有系统的研究来研究科学家如何理解阻碍这种推广的障碍。通过对美国顶尖研究型大学的97位学术生物学家和物理学家的半结构化访谈的分析,我们对科学家外展活动的类型和目标受众进行了分类。最后,我们探讨的叙述学术科学家有关于外展和它在学术界的接待,特别是他们认为这些活动的障碍。我们发现,科学家的推广活动是分层的性别和大学和学科的奖励,以及科学家对自己的技能的看法对科学推广的影响。研究贡献和大学政策的建议如下。
Scholars and pundits alike argue that U.S. scientists could do more to reach out to the general public. Yet, to date, there have been few systematic studies that examine how scientists understand the barriers that impede such outreach. Through analysis of 97 semi-structured interviews with academic biologists and physicists at top research universities in the United States, we classify the type and target audiences of scientists’ outreach activities. Finally, we explore the narratives academic scientists have about outreach and its reception in the academy, in particular what they perceive as impediments to these activities. We find that scientists’ outreach activities are stratified by gender and that university and disciplinary rewards as well as scientists’ perceptions of their own skills have an impact on science outreach. Research contributions and recommendations for university policy follow.
